If you have nothing to do today, check this out! On Friday, I dragged a friend with me to go see the Handmade Korea Fair at COEX (last day is today!). It was the perfect indoor event for these rainy days, and was like a Korean version of the Renegade Craft Fair in the US (which I looooove), except not quite as hipster.
There was quite a variety of vendors, ranging from cool young crafters to older traditional Korean artisan-types, and from furniture designers to painters and illustrators.

Sew, good woman, sew!
Here are some of my favorites:
There were also a few food booths inside the event hall, such as this ddeok stall. All their ddeoks looked so pretty and yummy, I had to get one.
Yum. Especially liked the black beans.
Overall, it was an awesome event and I was inspired by all the creative minds making things and following their passions. I kept wishing I could be there too, selling my own stationery line, prints, paintings... I wanna try to get my own booth at next year's event! :P
This is me.
